IPIECA has launched the new, customized version of the free and easy-to-use World Business Council Sustainable Development (WBCSD) Global Water Tool for oil and gas. The updated, Version II tool provides enhanced functionality and new data sets enabling a thorough assessment of potential water risks and opportunities across a global portfolio of sites considering the entire oil and gas value chain.
The Version II update is an improvement on Version I (2011) in many ways, including:
- New software architecture refining the ease of navigation and uploading of data
- The inclusion of new data sets from WRI Aqueduct such as ‘Projected change in Water Stress 2020, 2030 and 2040’
- The update of the majority of data sets from Version I
- The update of reporting modules
The tool continues to provide important services for the industry:
- Compares site-by-site water use with validated water, sanitation and population information for a company
- Establishes water risk in order to aid the prioritisation of action
- Enables the calculation of water consumption, efficiency and intensity metrics
